1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: Murrio Old's Ossie correspondents with us. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 2: Now, how maas, good afternoon, heaven Mars. 3 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: What is the point and bringing in a three day 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: curfew at the start of the week when people always 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: get on the terps at the end of the week. 6 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good point, And there's a thousand and one 7 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: question swirling around about this. You'll recall earlier this year 8 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: there was a three week curfew. Violence vanished off the streets. 9 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: This one will run three days, expires on Thursday. But 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: I heard that clip you just played. There is not 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: just about policing. I mean, the police can go on 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: there and arrest everybody, but there running up the jail 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: cells and Alice Springs and anywhere else in the Northern 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: Territory for that matter, to take everybody. It's much more 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: complex than just wallapers going in and you know, banging 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: heads with billy clubs. It is a really complex, highly 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: highly integrated kind of all branches of government solution required here. 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you had four off duty police officers, three women, 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: one fella going home on Sunday morning attacked by twenty 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: young people. There was a police officer a runover outside 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: a bottle shop last Friday night, a woman stabbed on Sunday. 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: Now you know what's the answer. No one's got an answer. 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: A lot of these kids come from dysfunctional homes. There's 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: no home to go to. They're not getting fed, they're 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: not getting clean clothes, they're not going to school. And 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: it's just really simplistic to say it's a police issue. 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: It's a whole lot more than that, ever, and where 28 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: the answer lies on bugget of my note. 29 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know either. I mean I think 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: they've got to find it within themselves unfortunately. And Alice 31 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: Springs listen, speaking of violence, though, You've got a guy 32 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: who is charged with stabbing his partner to death, who's 33 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: actually peid in court. 34 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: Now, look if he hasn't, he's about to a twenty 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: one year old fellow. The allegation is that he stabbed 36 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: a twenty one year old woman who's partnered to death yesterday, 37 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: run away from the home they shared and ended up 38 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: back I think at the family home about ten k's away. Now, 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: to say that's the tip of the iceberg is ridiculous. 40 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: There's a new start out this afternoon in the Australian 41 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: newspaper over here, the Murdoch press, have a listen to this. 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: Are you sitting down? Up to ten times as many 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: women are taking their own lives as those who were 44 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: murdered by their abusers. And here's another stat from a 45 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: Sydney lawyer we spoke to this morning. She specialized in 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: domestic violence. She's an Indigenous woman herself, a victim of DV, 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: a victim of sexual assault. She says, nearly two women 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: are dying every week in this country at the hands 49 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: of their abusive partners. And here's another stat I want 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: to share with you. This lawyer who is in the 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: front line of all of this, she's dealing with these 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: women every single day and their kids. She says, ninety 53 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: percent of women who are getting flogged by their partners 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: or getting sexually assaulted by their partners don't even bother 55 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: reporting it to police. They either don't trust the police 56 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: or don't think it'll do any bloody good. Can you 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: imagine that? Yeah, what's wonderful. 58 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: How much about also is that they're afraid of the 59 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: retribution of their partner if they do report it. 60 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: Of course, all of that and you know it's not 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: just themselves they're concerned about. They're worried about their kids, 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: about their children. Look what happened on Sunday morning in 63 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: Sydney when that guy allegedly set his house on five 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: either way? 65 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: Do we know what was going on there with them? 66 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: No, we don't. They still haven't been able to speak 67 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: to him. He remains in a coma. But the allegation 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: is he splashed the patrol around the house, set the 69 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: joint on fire. One child said to a neighbor, Daddy 70 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: tried to kill. 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Us rough man. There's something's gone very very wrong with 72 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: that guy. Hey listen, I see the Home Affairs Departments 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: ordered a government wide audit of all Internet facing technology. 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: That suggests to me that they think that there's bugs. 75 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: Oh no, kidding about absolutely. As we go to were 76 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: this afternoon, me speaking to you just today, there's a 77 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: brand new story hit the wires. The Australian government and allies, 78 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: which I guess includes Wellington, are accusing a Chinese spy 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: agency of targeting government and private sector networks in this country. 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: A major escalation of concern at government level. That this 81 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: order comes after I'm concerned about foreign interference and influence threats. 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: That's according to the ABC. The government, of course responsible 83 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: is responsible for operating really really sensitive things, I mean 84 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: critical systems, safeguarding vital data. I mean think about defense, 85 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: think about social security. And so there's a real concern 86 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: that ever more sophisticated foreign actors think China. In this case, 87 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: there is the allegation are getting smarter and better at 88 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: sneaking in, pinching data and then using it back against Australia. 89 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: So this is a is a federal government wide audit. 90 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: Exactly what they mean by Internet facing technology, I'm too 91 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: dumb to understand that, but suffice to say, very clever 92 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: people are now carrying out that order to try and 93 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: make things a hell of a lot here. 94 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: It just means it means your phone that's connected to 95 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: the internet, or your laptop that's connected to the internet. 96 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: That's all it means. Really, Yeah, thanks, You're welcome anytime. 97 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: You're clever. 98 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Old Australia correspondent.
